    Loved our server, Stephanie! Bo's has a nice ambience. We enjoy watching the cars and people go by. The food was good. They have a big selection of drinks!

    Bo's Beach in Fort Lauderdale has that perfect laid back Florida vibe, with salty air, beach views, and exactly the kind of food you want by the water. We were seated in a great booth in the open area looking out toward the beach, and the wait staff was very kind and attentive. My crab chowder was nice and creamy with big chunks of meat and plenty of crab flavor. The chicken dish we shared came with two huge pieces of boneless fried chicken covered in a sweet honey sauce; we wished there were a few more potatoes on the plate, but the fire roasted corn went perfectly with it. It is a must visit when you are in this part of Fort Lauderdale, with the bonus of an easy parking lot right across the street.

    Great location along the beach. Service was great! Our server was friendly and fun! Colorful decor with plenty of seating including a great bar area. Food was tasty! My sister got the shrimp salad and I got the lobster roll. Both were amazing with big portions. We got the calamari to start, and it came out cold, but they quickly replaced it with a new fresh order that was hot and cooked to perfection! We will definitely come back if in the area again.

    I came here for lunch for the first time this weekend and it was great! We had the main lobster and shrimp salad plus the bacon and cheese Smashburger, which were both delicious. I love that they have seating along the sidewalk so you can have a perfect view of the beach and people watching. The service was quick and everyone was friendly. They did add 20% service charge gratuity to the check automatically but it was clearly marked. Overall, I would recommend if you're in the area!

    Wings
    J B.

    We came one day for an early lunch, they were just opening. We were promptly seated, it's an open dining room for the most part. We ordered a smash burger and wings. I got a mango mule, which was pretty good. The smash burger was pretty dry but the toppings were fresh. The wings were good, it's hard to mess up wings. They were decently Meaty with not a lot of extra fat. The fries were the best part, they have the matchstick fries. If we go back, we'll be getting some different items. They seem to have a pretty decent happy hour based on their table tent advertisement.

    The Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos were delicious as was the Key Lime Pie! From the hostess to the wait staff everyone was super attentive, kind and helpful! This is also one of the few places that doesn't automatically add an 18% gratuity to the bill. The service was so good I left 20%.

    We sat at the bar and service was on-point. The drinks and food came out timely and it we were more than pleased. The only reason I'm deducting one star is for the music. It's 80's. Every time we go there the vibe is 80's music. Don't get me wrong, I like 80's some times but the hay day for 80's was 40 years ago. I'm 45 and I'd love to hear some fun 2000+ music. They play our music at Home Depot, I know I'm getting old but please let 80's music be one day a week or put in. Touch tunes. Aside from that the food was great, we got the; CRISPY FIRECRACKER SHRIMP $24 - 10/10, BO'S BEACH Pizza $25 - skip it and the Cesar salad - $17 - 7/10 (croutons not homemade as advertised but good portion and presentation). Go there for the specialty appetizers, $6 shots and great views!

    Bo's is an extremely accessible and conveniently located beach restaurant right in front of the main Fort Lauderdale beach. There are parking garages all around. We ordered Fish and chips and Fish Tacos with the catch of the day. The tacos were pretty big and full of meat justifying the price. The menu is pretty large and even though the place is busy, I never had trouble getting a table. They have happy hours on weekdays and the offering change depending on the day. If you want a no headache chill place near the beach, Bo's beach is for you.

    Crispy Calamari
    Jasmine S.

    Food was delicious, vibes were immaculate, server was friendly and fast! We had the calamari (multiple times), shrimp ceviche, fried oysters (also multiple times), mahi mahi tacos, firecracker shrimp (not my fav but still good) and the blackened grouper Reuben. Excellent!

    Crispy Calamari is crispy but it had a bit more breading than what I'm used to

    Staff is attentive and thoughtful. Food is typical for a beach place. Music had an 80s vibe.

    We had a fantastic dinner at Bo's Beach this past Wednesday night for our company's FY2024 awards meeting. We reserved the entire second floor, and everything from the setup to the food to the service was spot on. Bo's has been around since 2019 and is currently owned and run by Lou Moshakos and the LM Restaurants group. Their specialty is fresh seafood and wood-fired flatbreads, and honestly, the food really impressed everyone at our table. You can tell it's made with care, and the beachfront location definitely adds to the whole experience. What really stood out though was the service. Big shoutout to Jean, our bartender that evening, who was friendly, attentive, and seriously talented. He kept our group well taken care of all night and even made me a custom cocktail, I wish, I remembered what he called it, but it was light, refreshing, and just what I needed. Great spot, great people, great evening. We'll definitely be back maybe next time without all the coworkers and the PowerPoint slides!

The servers and management move in sync like a World Cup soccer team--everyone knows their role, the timing is on point, and the service just flows effortlessly. You can tell there's real teamwork behind the scenes. And then there's the view. Sitting outside with the ocean right there, the breeze coming through--it sets the tone for the whole experience.

It is incredibly obvious that management is prioritizing high-volume sales over legal compliance. Throughout the night, I observed security and bar staff consistently giving "passes" to individuals who were clearly using poor-quality out-of-state "novelty" IDs. The bartenders barely glance at the birth dates before serving massive 2-for-1 drinks to groups that are clearly underage. Lots of tiktoks circulating from college students who are blantantly 18 and 19 and openly express that they use fake ids at rockbar. Do a quick search for yourself and read the comment sections. The security here is also very aggressive, the dyke lady in the back thinks she runs Fort Lauderdale.

I highly recommend getting a table outside near the water if one is available. It's such a calmer and more romantic yet fun and beautiful experience when you're seated at the tables near the water. The location of them are perfect for date nights or special occasions!! Especially when you go during sunset! Overall it's just a place with a long wait and is a very enjoyable delicious time. The wait is so worth it! (They don't take reservations) The place had a bunch of great relaxing yet lively yet romantic type of vibes and you're surrounded by happy people- including the employees (atleast it seems so) and THE FOOD is just. I don't have the words. I mean, basically everything we've ever ordered at this restaurant has had us in shock after taking the first bites. Like even down to the French fries being yum! The lobster siracha mac and cheese (not sure what it's called on menu) is just my favorite and I crave it everyday if my life including right now as I write this Great staff also. Pricier than a typical restaurant but worth it because it's not a typical restaurant and it's not typical-tasting food.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 4.4/5 Value: 4/5 Coconuts is situated on the water with a view of the harbor. The picturesque setting is its main draw. It's very busy and loud there, though, if you are eating indoors at the bar like I was. The bartenders and barbacks are very busy. The restaurant is known for something called "Scoobies" which per Google Gemini are "crab claws (traditionally blue crab or snow crab) that have been partially de-shelled--leaving just the "pincher" as a handle--and sautéed in a rich sauce of garlic, butter, and olive oil with crushed red pepper and scallions." I didn't get the Scoobies because I was apprehensive about how difficult they would be to eat. My dishes were fried oysters, fish tacos, and coconut shrimp platter. They were all fine, but unremarkable. The platter comes with fries and cole slaw as listed, but when I said to the bartender that I didn't need cole slaw, just extra fries, he offered/clarified that I could substitute another side instead, so I went with broccoli. I did notice that there were many flies flying around when my shrimp platter came out. One of the other bartenders put out a plate of hot sauce to repel the flies, which helped. The place is famous and sells its own merchandise like shirts and hats. It is not located near other restaurants, and you'll have to walk fifteen minutes or get an Uber if you are discouraged by the waiting time. The people dining here look like they are pretty well off and are able to enjoy life.
